In issue #10 of ReadyMade, they use a soda can as a cover for a light switch cover. Sort of fold the flattened out can over the existing cover and screw back in place. I can take pictures of the magazine if it doesn't make sense.

So I was trying to revamp a plain black picture frame to put this picture in. I tried making some sort of frame out of a record, that didn't work. I tried hot gluing red vinyl to the frame, that really didn't work and now my frame is covered with hot glue bits. Is there anyway to get those off? Or can anyone think of a way to decorate the frame so those glue-y bits are covered and the frame still goes with the theme of the photo?

I like making postcard sets from random photos (from catalogs, old magazines, old books, etc.).Get a pack of blank 4"x6" index cards, glue the random pictures (or pieces of pictures) on one side, and draw the lines, place for the stamp and all that on the other side (use markers, paint, or maybe fingernail polish). You can add a random "Wish You Were Here" postcardy-type message to the front or back or maybe some ad for a made-up vacation spot (Visit beautiful Abercrombie Island!)Wrap up sets of 10 or 20 of these with a nice ribbon and you have a very cool gift. Or just send them out to all your friends one by one! Everyone loves getting postcards for no reason.

A good place to find cheap plain t-shirts (I've found that the ones at craft stores are made weird, don't fit me well) is Wal-Mart. Check the little boys section. They have a ton of different colored plain t-shirts for $3.50 and if you need a regular adult size, they have those in the men's section for like $4-$5. They should be near the underwear and socks and all that stuff. But they are never consistently there, so it's a hit or miss kinda thing. Another good idea is a sports/shoe store. Maybe a bit more expensive but in addition to regular t-shirts they have plain baseball jersey type shirts--very cute with a stencil on them.

Yeah, i'm talking about the 2-lightbulb ceiling fixtures that are pretty standard for bedrooms (when you don't have a ceiling fan or anything). I'm basically hanging the parasol upside-down from that fixture.
